Two inmates who escaped from the Nash Correctional Institute on Friday by scaling two fences topped with razor wire remained on the loose Sunday, a day after authorities charged a Selma woman with driving the prisoners away from the facility. According to investigators, 29-year-old Danny Richardson and 26-year-old Demetrius Harris managed to break out of the Nash County close-custody facility around 6:30 p.m. Friday. A prison spokesperson said the two men likely were cut severely by the barbed wire. Law-enforcement officials all over the state have been alerted to be on the lookout for Richardson, serving time for first-degree rape, and Harris, in jail for second-degree murder. Saturday, Nash County deputies charged 22-year-old Tasha Marie Stancil with felony harboring a fugitive. She was released on $5,000 bond. Authorities have not said where Stancil allegedly picked up the men or where she drove them to. The Nash prison has about 500 inmates. It is a close-custody prison, which is a step belowed the highest level of security. Richardson's and Harris' escape was reportedly the first escape from a close-custody prison in several years. Authorities caught a third inmate who tried to escape with Richardson and Harris, 27-year-old Victor Martin, before he could get over the second fence. Martin was taken to the hospital to be treated for cuts he got while scaling the first fence. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Harris and Richardson is being asked to call a local law enforcement agency. Harris had been in prison since May of 2001. He was scheduled to be released in 2015 after receiving a sentence of 18 years and five months for his 2001 murder conviction in Durham County. Richardson had been in prison since April of 1998. He was scheduled for release in 2034 after receiving 48-year sentence for his 1998 rape conviction. |
